To those who have said that they would check the surrounding area for more copies, your help and donations would still be appreciated... B-)

I have spoilered all the previous updates to this post since it is large and cluttery. It's all there though![spoiler]HEY GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hey guys who said they would donate money?

You should probably get on the actual money giving thing soon. B-)

bwee woo bwee woo bwee woowe won guys!! GOOD JOB. Alert status over. for now. Pledges are, however, still accepted from those who still wish to help this dream flourish but are too lazy to scour the local area for Shaq Fus. 8-)

A copy of Shaq Fu signed by two internet famous men. I do believe this would be a worthy addition to the collection. HOWEVER, chances are, this shit is going to get hot, since it involves wacky internet famous mans. There's no way one man could justify paying more than $50 for a copy of Shaq Fu...... no way that one man could...So, anyone wanna donate a little bit to owning this piece of bad internet history scribbled on a Shaq Fu cartridge? AJ and I are going to wait until the last day to bid, and will split the costs, if it's not too crazy high up there. Our dear The Machine has offered to throw $40 into the pot, like a true hero. Is anyone else willing to step up to the plate !?Basically we'll bid up to however high we feel comfortable (taking into account how much it'll cost each of us along with how many donations are offered) and then if we win I'll run around and collect money from people. (through paypal, or through fake birthday cards in the mail, or whatever.) Five dollars, ten dollars, maybe even one dollar. Anything would help!

come on guys you know you want to

-----------------------------------

So.

Last summer, a little after my birthday, a group of friends led by my bro AJ come to pick me up for a night on the town. My ol' pal Joe was supposed to be there, but he was strangely absent. We all pile in the car and head off to our destination.

Upon arriving, there is a noise in the trunk. A ghastly moan.

I go to open up the trunk... and out pops Joe.

With a copy of Shaq Fu for the Sega Genesis.

This would not be the last Shaq Fu I received that night. Throughout the night, Joe would nonchalantly present me with yet MORE copies of this beautiful game at opportune moments. I ended up with 7 by the time the festivities were over. I was pretty content.

Next time I saw Joe, several more copies came into my possession. Suddenly, 7 Shaq Fus became 9. I thought nothing of it.

Shortly after this, I end up getting a great deal on a Game Gear with a ton of games included. There is.. there is also Shaq Fu in here. 14 Shaq Fus...

Cut to present day. I have 21 copies of Shaq Fu now. Five more are on their way to me through the mail. I have only actually purchased three of these, one by accident.

There is a website out there that promotes the collection and immediate destruction of Shaq Fu. This, frankly, disgusts me. AJ and I are now working to collect and preserve this priceless artifact.

(this sticker was on it when i bought it)

So we are currently working on http://www.saveshaqfu.com . It will have some things relating to the actual game, as well as photos and origins of each Shaq Fu copy in my possession. Probably some other bullshit too.

THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN. Do you have a shitty old game store nearby? Do you happen to own this game already? Do you have a mega boner for drak? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should probably mail me a copy of Shaq Fu or two. Or three. Or four. PM me for mailing information. I am willing to strike a deal with those who do not wish to let a Shaq Fu out of their grasp so easily... but, really now. It's a good cause, isn't it.

tl;dr: pm me if you want to mail me copies of shaq fu

also before anyone asks yes that box under the topmost shaq fu with the guy on it is a shaq fu box. it just.. it just has a photo of rattleman taped to it. the cartridge also bears this photograph.[/spoiler]

Well, since you went and made a post about it:A few months ago, while looking for a job, I stopped into a small used games store to apply, and saw a copy there.

That I bought.

With the sole intention of having Rixx give me your address so that I could send it to you.

But now everyone's gonna do it. :[

Rixx also has a copy or two that he was gonna send to you with mine, but now the surprise has been ruined, so expect a couple copies in the mail (with a special surprise) from VAYGUS some time in the near future.

Rixx already informed me of this today, actually! Which is partially why I decided to make this post. I figure there must be a couple more heroes here willing to donate to the cause. (Your two shaq fus are included in my "five more on the way in the mail," in fact. 8-) ) It's alright, you will be the ORIGINAL INTERNET CONTRIBUTORS.

Alright, just as long as he didn't spoil the special surprise that I have been planning to do since...since you guys won second in the Shinding, actually. I hope to see a video or something of you reacting to it.

You're in luck, Drak. My local headshop is right beside my vintage games store.
